Speaker reiterates impeachment is not on her agenda
Congress this week will take the next step to force the Bush administration to hand over information about the dismissal of U.S. attorneys and the politicization of the Justice Department, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Saturday.
The House Judiciary Committee will bring contempt of Congress charges against the administration this week, said the San Francisco Democrat. She did not specify who the subject of the action would be, but Pelosi spokesman, Brendan Daly, said later it would be former White House counsel Harriet Miers, who defied a House Judiciary Committee subpoena to appear.
"They have disregarded the call of Congress for information about their politicizing the Department of Justice. We can document that. Those are actual facts and we will bring the contempt of Congress forth," said Pelosi, who spoke with reporters at a San Francisco workshop for people who want to become U.S. citizens.
She also addressed criticism of the farm bill and reiterated her opposition to impeaching President Bush.

“The House Judiciary Committee will bring contempt of Congress charges against the administration this week,”
The response should be..”Congress made the ruling..Now let them enforce it”.
And since any charges would be before the Senate Judiciary Committee chaired by the VICE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES, it would be even more interesting as to how this would turn out.
She’s just blowing smoke up a tall chimney.
Actually, with a less than 30% approval rating, I guess everyone holds Congress in well-deserved contempt!
Now, that might get me a lot of flames, but think about it.
So far, the Democrap controlled Congress has gotten exactly, NOTHING, done. Their approval rating is lower than the Congress they took over and HALF of the Presidents.
I think we should help them keep up the work they have started, since 2008 is not that far away, maybe their approval rating will be in single digits by then. Making this the worst Congress in history. By the elections, not one Democrat will want to be linked to any activity.
lib/dems are below contempt!!!!!
but I too, have nothing but contempt for piglosi and crew!!!
The solution is to stop voting for lawyers.
Has this Congress done anything but attack the Republicans?
Miers is shaking in her boots.
Pray for W and Our Troops
The whole nation is in “Contempt of CONgress!” Just look at the depths of their polling results currently!!!
The polls show that about 85% of the American people are in contempt of congress. I think that number is about 14% low.
Remember when the republicans took over congress how there were non-stop hit pieces on Newt Gingrich in the MSM. Eventually he had “approval” ratings in the 20’s or 30’s. Where are the similar non-stop hit pieces on Pelosi and the “bomb-throwers” on the left? And why was Gingrich 2-3 times more popular than today’s congress.
